When was the last time somebody asked you how much you can bench press? For some gym rats, being asked that question is like Christmas — an opportunity to flex the results you’ve achieved from all your chest workouts.

But what if your bench press max isn’t up to snuff? Sure, you might just need a new bench press program. Or, you could follow the findings of a March 2024 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Spoiler: You can make one simple adjustment to your bench press technique and probably set a new personal record right away.

I’ve tried something similar and saw great results in my bench.
